Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are perhaps better.

Afraid of cops?

Not that I go around scared to make a move, afraid that a cop will see me. I don't alter my behavior just because I know our society is crawling with cops of various kinds, all hungry to make a score at any cost. I don't look over my shoulder afraid a cop is following me.

It's only when I have occasion to be noticed by one (or more) and they start speaking at me that I become afraid. Only an idiot would refuse to recognize the danger in that situation. Just like if you notice a rabid fox in your house.

Cops are cowardly, paranoid, sociopathic, potential murderers. Any interaction with one is a life and death situation. Sure, you could claim anyone and everyone is a "potential murderer", but some "jobs"- such as a mafia hitman, a drug cartel lord, or a cop- have a much higher potential to lead to you committing murders than other, more ethical, life choices.

If you are aware of reality, dealing with anyone of that sort will get your adrenaline flowing. I try to do nothing to make those twitchy parasites any more dangerous than they already are, if I have to speak to them. I don't believe in magic incantations that will make them change their "mind" and let me go on my way if they have decided to molest me further. So, I try to be polite while being glad they can't read my mind.

But, yes, I am nervous around them.

I don't do anything wrong that warrants an intervention by cops. I don't steal or initiate force. Any problem anyone has with me can be dealt with in a civilized manner- which NEVER involves inviting a cop into the mix. Once you bring a cop in, my cooperation ceases because you have asked someone to point a gun at me on your behalf. So any contact by a cop is illegitimate from the beginning.

You may not have a healthy fear of cops. Good for you. I hope your lack of fear proves to be the right choice.

I experience some nervousness around cops. It's partly the nature of their jobs, which inevitably makes them the bearer of bad news. If a cop approaches or visits your home, he's not there to give you a Publisher's Clearninghouse payout or pay tribute to your devotion to civic duty.

People with darker skin than u dont get a choice to be like that. When I was in sourthern tx I started carrying my passport cuz of all bp dhs and many local bidniz men wanted proof of my americaness. More loathing than fear.
